THE report of the drawing of the
Confederate Home Gift Concert pub
lishcd yesterday is surprise to many
who did not know before that the
drawing came off June LIST ana I'd. In
fact, the manager says himself that
there are about fifty agents who have
not yet sent in their reports of sales of
tickets. The list of prizes reads (:
Soap, soap, soap, do, do, catsup, soap,
do, bottle of extract, soap, do, do, do,
soap, do, and so on. The distribution
was certainly next to godliness if the
soap is any good. But joking aside,
the HERALD hopes soon to be able to
publish report of good result for
the Home.

Dallas and the Texas and Arr

The Ozark, Ark, Democrat says "From
the DAILY DALLAS (Texas) HERALD we
learn that an effort will be made to get an
excursion for tle Arkansas editors from
Texarkana TO Dallas next May. The Texas
editors will meet Mt the latiei place at that
time. We shall be very happy to meet
the Texas brethren in that hourishing
city next year"
THE Conway, Ark, Log Cabin says
We have received copy Of the DALLAS
(Texas) DAILY HERALD, containing por-
ton OF the proceedings of the Texas Press
Association, held last week at Fort Worth
We acknowledge the invitation to come to
Dallas after our meeting, but honestly be-
lieve they should have met us at Texarkana.
We yet hope they will reconsider the mat
ter, II possible, and through their execu.
tive committee arrange for the meeting ut
Texarkana."
The executive committee has no au'
thority. Dallas and the Texas Press
will give you cordial welcome aud
hearty entertainment next May.
THE Little Rock Democrat says: "At
their late meeting the Arkansas Press AS
sociation voted to hold their next meeting
ut Texarkana. with the idea that their
brethren of the Texas Press Association
-
pleasant exchange of fraternal courtesies
and mutual acquaintance among their re-
spectiye members. IL appears from the
Texas newspaper reports, however, that
the Texas association gave the proposition
but very little ons'deration, and voted by
q large ma jority TO meet at Dallas, with n
side remark TO the effect that the Arkansas
Association could find them there IL they
want to see them. We are inclined TO think
that IL will be ga cold day." indeed, when
the Arkansas newspaper gang go travelling
to force their friendship upon people who
have so coolly rejected their advance.
Good bye, Texas. Hereafter we will know
where to look for YOU"
Our brother of the Democrat has
certainly put wrong construction on
the action of the Texas Association in
deciding TO come to Dallas rather than
Texarkana. There was very strong
desire on the part of the Texas press
gang to meet the Arkansas press at
Texarkana; and all the prestige that
Texarkana had in her candidacy for the
next annual meeting was due to the
one fact Of the Arkansas press meet
ing there. Dallas claimed the privi-
lege of entertaining our association
next year, and of course the HERALD
man did his best to get them to
come here; and among other induce
ments punctured the Texarkana boom
by coupling with the Dallas invitation
for the Texas press to meet here next

IT is safe TO say that no company
ever made more rapid progress in pub
lie enterprise than the Oak Cliff Town
Improvement Company. The plat was

two weeks, the next week contracts
were let for erection of stand pipe
and laying Of pipes for water works,
for crawling and matchmaking eight
miles of streets and avenues, for 3OO,-
600 feet of lumber, ties for the elevat-
ed railway, iron bridge over Trinity
for elevated railway, and now nego-
tiating for iron for the railway. This
is Dallas enterprise. The elevate |
railway will be completed in few
months, and will be tho only one in
the South, and, too, will be the only
electric railway in the South except
the one at Montgomery, Ala. Oak
Cliff will be the most attractive and
finest suburban town in the South.

Curious Effects of lightning.

The steamship Anchoria of the An
Choir line, which lately arrived in
New York, met a tornado $50 miles
from Sandy Hook. The wind came
on from the northeast, and ina very
short time there was q tremendous
sea running. The rain came down
in such floods that the crew were
scarcely able to stand upon deck.
The lightning poured in streams of a
minutes duration from the clouds to
the water, while globes of blue
flame played up and down the rig
cling and danced along the yards,
and leaped from the masts i%ncessant-
ly, terrifying passengers and seamen
alike. For about two hours the wind
blew at eighty miles an hour. Meth
er lookout nor pilot could see beyond
the ships rail, because of the solid
sheets of rain and flying clouds of
spray in which the ship seemed to be
walled up as by a fog. The engines
were run dead slow, and the ship
lay to head to the gale. At the end
of two hours the gale broke, and
pleasant weather soon followed. No
damage was done by either wind or
electricity.
The steamship Glenartney, from
Shanghai, was in the same storm,
and had well-deined tufts of electric
fire on each masthead.
Lightning struck Charles M. Lee,
a cowboy, and also his horse, and
killed them both, near Cheyenne
Wells, Col, the other day. The
stroke broke the iron horn of the
saddle, exploded all the cartridges in
his belt, and set fire to the leather Of

True Neatness.

Zone who knows" a woman of

ladies will do well to pay quite as
much attention to what il is suppos-
ed will remain unseen by the gener-
al run of her friends and acquaintan-
ces as they do to the outward and
visible parts Of their toilette. A
handsome dress and stylish hat are
all very well as far as they go, but
they may go a little way if the skirts
underneath are of doubtful whiteness
or if the wearer feels afraid to lift
them when crossing a muddy street
for fear of betraying the condition of
her stockings. Besides an accident
may happen, and then picture the
confusion of a woman who RECEIVERS

her dress open and half a dozen

st. Nicholas for May.
Brussels lace is celebrated all over
the world, and we must not fail to
visit one of the places where this
beautiful and costly lace is made.
Here we see a number of women,
very quiet, very neatly dressed, and
in some cases with wonderfully deli
cate and soft-looking hands, although
they are all plain working-women.
Each is busy fashioning the delicate
pattern of her own, which she always
makes, and which, perhaps, descend
ed to her from her mother and grand
mother. Some of the women are
working on customs, with pins and
bobbins, and some are using needles
and the finest and most delicate OF
thread. We are told that this thread
is all made by hand, and it is SO deli
cate that it has to be spun in damp
cellars, because in the dry upper air
it would break before it is finished.
There are old women in Brussels
who have spent nearly all their lives
spinning in cellars.

The Four Mile Law Extended

Nashville Christian Advocate.
Some years ago the Episcopal col
lege at Sewanee petitioned the legis-
lature of Tennessee for protection
against saloons by prohibiting them
within a distance of four miles of the
institution. In order to NEE: the
wants of this special case a general
law was enacted, forbiding the sale of
intoxicating liquors within four miles
of any incorporated institution of
learning not located in an incorporat-
ed town. This was the genesis of
"the four-mile law"
The principle Of the law was good
and the wisdom of measure has been
vindicated by its blessed results. The
operation has been so uniformly USE
full that scores of towns in the state
have surrendered their charters to Sc
cure its benefits. BY their action
they have said we are better protect
ed without a municipal government
when we have no saloons than we
are with municipal government
when we h%avesaloons. This is strik-
ing and conclusive testimony to the
eXpensiveness and ineficiency of the
license system and to the economy
and excellence ofprohibition.
By the proposed amendment to the
constitution of the state the blessings
of the four-mile law are sought to be
extended over all the people. If pro-
hibition has been found needful and
helpful to the welfare of the boys at.
tending a church school, where they
are daily under the pious influence
and vigilant oversight of their teach
ers, how much more is it necessary
for the well-being of the thousands
of poor boys, many of them widows
sons, in the state, who do not enjoy
the blessings of such safeguards? Let
the four-mile law be extended to for.
ty miles, to four-hundred miles, tc
all the miles there are in the state
If prohibition is wise and right or
one spot of ground in Tennessee, il
is equally SO on all; and he who
living in enjoyment of its blessings
declines by his vote to extend it
benefits to others car scarcely be re
garded as observing the golden rule

Business Men and Politics.

New York World.
The value of the centennial celebra-
ton held at Philadelphia last week is
to be measured by its effect in deep
ening the sense of the importance
and significance of the National Con-
stitution. Custom tends constantly
to make people forget how much a
great good costs, and what it has
done away with or replaced.
Perhaps no more timely remarks
were uttered during the recent three
days ceremonies than those address
ed by President Cleveland to the
Commercial Exchange. They were
based upon the fact that no class of
the population manifests so much in
difference to the political welfare Of
the country as that composed of bust
ness men. They are quick enough to
take interest in governmental mat
tiers which Immediately affect their
pecuniary affairs, but it requires
something extraordinary to arouse
their patriotism. They fail generally
to realize how their prosperity in the
long run depends upon honest gov
eminent and with what responsible
ty they are invested as citizens with
respect to institutions acquired
through much suffering and the exer-
else of heroism, unselfshness and
wisdom. So
The business community when
awakened to the presence of the ma.
tional peril is not lacking in proper
sentiment or action. But at Other
times it is absorbed in its immediate
affairs and leaves the field, in cities
at least, to corrupt men. Tweeds
Jacob Sharps, stolen franchises anC
high taxes are the results, with the
still more important consideration
that the source of political power, thu
ballot-box, is being vitiated. A cele
bration which would ~effectually
quicken the patriotic conscience o
the business community by impress
ing it with all that the Constitution
stands for would be a valuable ont
indeed.
